April 30, 2012

How are you? Do you need any short sleeved shirts?This week was pretty wild. I got bed bugs hahah. Yup they are feedingon my blodd every night ha. It is pretty wild and scary. I guess themissionary before me brought them into the house, so they did a superdeep clean but didnt get all the bugs out. So I'm currently the hostor dinner for my little friends. I have bites all over my arms andlegs, its great. Well while we are on the subject of bed bugs. Wehelped someone move on saturday. They lived in a very poor apt complexit's called 3333 the hood. Anyways as we were taking apart the bed, abed bug clawed on to my hand it freaked me out. So we looked under thebed and there was like 100's of them. So I refused to touch the bedhaha. Then in the same move we were moving a table like there dinnertable and a cockroach clawed out of one of the cracks and I hatecockroaches they freak me out. I'm just a little girl when it comes tocockroaches and bedbugs, even though I'm getting eaten alive haha.It's all about the exprience though. This week was super good in themissionary work area. We had a baptism YES Maria got baptized I'llsend you a picture. Her baptism was Great! We found a couple newinvestigators. Hopefully we will start teaching this black family thatwe found tracting. I love tracting here, we run into so many coolpeople and they are all humble.We had a pretty cool exprience tracting. So the zone leaders went onexchanges with us fro like 3 hrs to tract in our area and what not. Wewent out and I forgot my bike lock and we didnt have a phone or keys.So we got into the church and dropped our bikes off there, thenproceded to got tracting. We were tracting on butler and I wasn'treally feeling that street. So we stopped and said a prayer, we askedwhere heavenly father wanted us to be. I then opened my planner andsaw the street that we needed to go to. So we went there and the firstdoor we knocked on was a mexican family that spoke perfect english.The Husband Junior was covered in tatoos, they had 2 kids and reallyneeded a prayer. So we had a prayer with them and they invited us backto teach them this week. They are also neighbors of a member.BecauseJunior had a ton tatoos and looked way rough the neighbor wouldn'treally talk to him. You can't assume people will not be interested inthe gospel just because of there outer apperence. I hate it whenmembers of the chruch judge and assume. I learned a very good lessonthat day on not judging and assuming. I promised in my prayer that Iwould work my hardest not to assume that the people we talk to or see,will not be interested in the gospel. So we talk to everyone we see. Ilove it! The blessings come so fast when you just work hard and stickyour mind to the work. I love it.We found a couple new people from just talking to everyone in thestreet. Marilyn and her son Preston who is 8. they came to a churchtour with us. They both loved the church and we are going to startteaching them. She has tatoos all down her arms and she was reallyworried about being judged at church. I could say that no would sayanything cause the members love to judge for some reason. We are allchildren of our father in heaven. I dont it just really bothers me howjudemental the members are. We have some really cool people we areteaching though. I love it here so much!Sounds like your area is one that all Missionary Mom's love. Ha HaHow are your investigators? Any new ones?They are doing great.
